Being gentle with myself

I am so grateful for the Balanced View training for providing me a decisive experience about how I can be gentle with myself. For years I have suffered from extreme negativity toward myself, and it was a vicious cycle of negative thoughts and emotions that led to more negativity. Though there were periods of positive thoughts and emotions, but they didn’t last, so at some point I felt so filled with fear that I will always feel this way.

From the first moment I have met the Balanced View training I​ ​felt the tremendous relief of open intelligence and I understood deeply that I​ ​have the right and the means to be gentle with myself. Since this introductions​ ​I have done the Twelve Empowerment and many other training and I keep close to​ ​the support system that Balanced View offer – and through all of that this​ ​experience of​ ​being gentle with myself just grow deeper and deeper, and I have​ ​more and more trust that in its stability and that it is not going to fade​ ​away. It is such a shift for me, I realize now more and more how much I​ ​suffered from self-criticism, self-blame and shame and how painful it was​ ​and how it effected my relationships with family and friends. So now having the​ ​deep relaxation that is coming from relying on Open Intelligence, it is like a​ ​sweet nectar that makes everything better – life is joyful, I love and cherish​ ​and enjoy my relationships so much more, more than I could ever imagine, and I am​ ​able to accomplish things I have dreamt about for years in terms of what I really want to do.

With much appreciation for to Balanced View and to its founder,Candice O’Denver,
